Les historiettes de Tallemant des Réaux, tome premier by Tallemant des Réaux

"Les historiettes de Tallemant des Réaux, tome premier" by Tallemant des Réaux is a collection of personal memoirs written starting in 1657. This first volume offers intimate portraits of seventeenth-century France's most prominent figures, from kings Henri IV and Louis XIII to literary giants like Corneille, Pascal, and La Fontaine. Originally never intended for publication, these anecdotes remained in manuscript form until 1834, when they shocked readers with their iconoclastic revelations. The work chronicles political intrigue, scandalous courtesans, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of the Grand Siècle that challenged idealized historical perceptions.
